Mike, I would not recommend that location for the EC fuse block. A better location would be forward of the fuse panel where you connected the blue wire. If you have an issue with any of the circuits you would have to remove the seat to check the fuse. The location where you mounted the fuse block is perfect for the EC ground block.
They're OEM for the paint scheme I purchased. (2016 Black/Titanium) I took a look in some of the parts finders, but they don't specify color. You could ask around to see if anyone has them in black. The engine guard number to reference is 62501-MJG-670 for the right, and 62601-MJG-670 for the left. The rear Crash guards are 84130-MJG-670 for the right and 84140-MJG-670 for the left. OEM Prices are about $240 each for the engine guards and $87 each for the rear saddlebag guards. The other option of course would be to remove yours and have them powder coated. You should be able to get that done for under $200.00 I would imagine.
Hey... Sorry for not getting back sooner. Things have been so nuts lately! So yes, I did place a grounding block next to the fuse block. I ran a 12 gauge primary wire from a "buss bar" I purchased and grounded it on the engine. The grounding point is on the right side of the engine. You can see it by removing the side cover where you would service the engine oil.

Thanks... I'll take a look at that. I did notice that it was pressing down a bit on the rear fender.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank You.
Great Mark! Thanks for the note.
Where did you get your black crash bars?

Where can I get that little box that you’re using.
It is called a power plate from Electrical connections. electricalconnection.com/index.php/product/honda-goldwing-power-plate-fuse-block/
Bump your volume up. Very low
Hey JP, thanks I'll take a look at it. Hope you were able to get what you needed from the video.
